   so why isn't there a decentralized github? is there even a need for one?

     @matteodem there are some other projects in the pipeline at #ssbc to build fully decentralized alternatives to the github ecosystem.

     @xj9 @matteodem There is a project in active use today on #ssb, SSB itself is being developed withing that system.
     
     Just `npm install -g git-ssb` if you're already on SSB, and you can access your own git host on http://localhost:7718/ with just `git ssb web` (Patchwork or sbot needs to be running), you can clone ssb:// repos, and you can create your own with `git ssb create` in your own repo.
     
     Public gateways are available. Example, git-ssb itself:
     
     https://git.scuttlebot.io/%25n92DiQh7ietE%2BR%2BX%2FI403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU%3D.sha256
     
     Gateways are pretty choked these days though, so for reliable access you should be following the repo author or their friend on SSB and access the repo through your own git-ssb.

     @ghedipunk @matteodem Github is a centralized location for finding, cloning from, pulling from, pushing to, and managing access to git repos. Also, there's vendor lock-in with issues, pull requests and other neat tools.
     
     Nobody who uses git is forced to use github, but nobody who wants to interact with a project that uses github can do that fully without a github account or bothersome workarounds that deviate from the project's agreed-upon communications model.
